60# lab mixes. Can they tear through chicken wire over chain link fence?
Even over chain link fence?
Any dog can tear up chicken wire easily. We built a little 'puppy holder' sorta thing a few years ago. It was like a chicken tractor without the top that we would put our GSD pups in when customers were trying to pick one out. At 8 weeks old they could already tear through it. The dog that ripped through my HWC on my rabbit hutch was a 80b GSD.
It was on the underside of the hutch so he could hardly even get at it and was in a weird position to be tearing wire but still got through it pretty easily. Chicken wire is a joke for keeping out predators, it's a chew toy for dogs. Hardware cloth works alright for the majority of predators, I thought it could stop a dog but it did not last long against mine.
Neither did cheap 2x4 welded wire
And chicken wire, like I said, is a joke.
It's made to keep chickens in, not predators out.
Chain Link works well because there are no weak spots, welds, that pop when the dog starts ripping on it. An electrical wire works well too, so does dog kennel wire. We use all of it on our dog kennels.
Oh wow, ok thank you! We'll use hardware cloth over the chain link.Any dog can tear up chicken wire easily. We built a little 'puppy holder' sorta thing a few years ago.
